Seco 00029844 Turning Insert CP500 Solid Carbide Pvd

Product Description

The SECO 00029844 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert engineered for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to CP500 grade with micrograin carbide substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating, this insert delivers controlled wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. It features a 0.118-inch maximum cutting width, a 0.157-inch cutting height, and a 0.059-inch corner radius. The neutral hand orientation and double-end design extend usable tool life per insert. Machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments will find this insert suited to demanding material applications.

This insert belongs to the SECO MDT series, designed for multi-directional turning applications where both axial and radial cutting paths are required in a single operation. The LCMF insert style with LCMF1303M0-0300-MP catalog designation targets materials spanning ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, carbon steels, and heat-resistant superalloys. It is suited to residential or industrial production shops running close-tolerance turned components and is typically installed in compatible MDT toolholders on production CNC turning equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine powered down and all axes at rest before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified seating procedure, ensuring the insert seats fully and evenly against the pocket locating surfaces. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before each insert change. Follow your facility's lockout/tagout procedures prior to any tooling service.
